1. MARINE CORPS COMBAT UTILITY UNIFORM (MCCUU)

The Marine Corps prides itself with exceptional adhearance to uniform standards. Marines are expected to always present a sharp, well maintained, squared away image. All Navy personnel assigned to Marine units are expected to present the same image. Wearing of the utility uniform requires complete compliance with Marine Corps uniform regulations.

2. WEAR

Proper wear of the MCCUU

Design - the utility uniform is designed for field wear and should be loose-fitting and comfortable. The size selected should fit loosely to allow for some shrinkage without rendering the garment unusable.

Blouse - the utility blouse will not be tucked into the trousers. At the option of local commanders, sleeves may be rolled up or down depending on time of year or weather. The woodland uniform will be worn in the winter with sleeves unrolled. The desert uniform will be worn in the summer months with sleeves rolled up. When sleeves are worn “up” they will have a three inch fold terminating about two inches above the elbow. The utility blouse should always be kept buttoned. Large or heavy objects should not be carried in the pockets.

Trousers - when combat boots are worn, the trousers will be bloused in a neat and uniform manner. In garrison, the cargo pockets on the trousers will not be used.

Cover - all personnel, E-4 and above, will wear a subdued (black) cover device. Navy personnel are to use the cover without the embroderied Eagle, Globe and Anchor. If unable to obtain a cover without the Eagle, Globe and Anchor, nothing will be placed over the emblem.

Belt - all personnel will wear the tan khaki web belt or a Marine Corps Martial Arts Belt. The Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) has a designated belt ranking system. Only those individuals who attend the MCMAP course and qualify are authorized to wear the appropriate belt.

Sweater - Navy officer and enlisted personnel may wear the green (wooley pully) or black service sweater with the combat utility uniform. The sweater will be worn underneath the utility blouse with sleeves down.

Raingear - Navy personnel will wear the Navy issued black raincoat or organizational rainwear as issued by the Marine Corps with the combat utility uniform.

Insignia

The rating insignia is worn on the left collar, bisecting the angle of the point of the collar, and equally spaced ½ inch from either side of the collar (see figure 1).

3. UNAUTHORIZED WEAR OF THE MCCUU

The wearing of the MCCUU and its policies are much like the Navy’s utility uniform (Dungarees). Members are prohibited from wearing the utility uniform off base with the following exceptions:

- to and from work while in a vehicle

- during medical emergencies

- circumstances that are beyond your control (vehicle breakdown)

- while visiting drive-thrus that do not require you to exit the vehicle

4. CARE OF THE MCCUU

The MCCUU is designed for easy care. These uniforms are designed as a wash-and-wear uniform. If needed, a hand iron on a low heat setting may be used. The use of starch, sizing and any process that involves dry cleaning or a steam press will adversely affect the treatments and durability of the uniform and is NOT recommended.

5. MARKING

Enlisted Sailors will plainly and indelibly mark every article of uniform clothing with the owner’s name (except for organizational clothing).

Size - letters will be of a size appropriate to the article of clothing and the space available for marking and will consist of block leters not more than ½ inch in size. Marking machines, stencils, name tapes or stamps may be used.

Color - names are marked in black, on light colored material and utilities, and in white on dark material. Marks will be placed so that they do not show when the clothing is worn.

Location - the precise location for marking the following gear is as follows:

Duffel bag - on the outside of the bag on the bottom

Web belt - on one side only, as near to the buckle end as possible

Cover - inside, on the sweatband

Coats and overcoats - inside, on the neckband

Drawers - outside immediately below the waistband, near the front

Gloves - inside, at the wrist

Shoes and boots - inside, near the top

Socks - outside, on top of the foot

Utility blouse - name-tape sewn above right breast pocket, service tape sewn above left breast pocket; mark inside of blouse as well

Trousers - name-tape sewn above right rear pocket; mark inside of trousers as well

Undershirt - inside back, near the neck-band

6. GROOMING STANDARDS/PERSONAL APPEARANCE

Members will present the best possible image at all times and continue to set the example while in and out of uniform. Members are prohibited from:

- Mutilation of the body or any body parts in any manner

- Attaching, affixing or displaying objects, articles, jewelry, or ornamentation to, through or under skin, tongue or any other body part. Female members may not wear earrings in combat utility uniform.

- Tattoos or brands on the neck and head. On other areas of the body, tattoos or brands that are prejudicial to good order, discipline and morale or are of a nature to bring discredit upon the Marine Corps are also prohibited.  Sleeve tattoos are likewise prohibited.  A sleeve tattoo is a very large tattoo, or a collection of smaller tattoos, that covers or almost covers a person’s entire arm or leg.  Half-sleeve or quarter-sleeve tattoos that are visible to the eye when wearing standard PT gear (t-shirt and shorts) are likewise prohibited.  A half-sleeve or quarter-sleeve tattoo is defined as a very large tattoo, or a collection of smaller tattoos that covers, or almost covers, the entire portion of an arm or leg above or below the elbow or knee. Tattoos or brands that are prejudicial to good order, discipline and morale, or are of a nature to bring discredit upon the Marine Corps are also prohibited.  Prejudicial to good order, discipline and morale, or are of a nature to bring discredit upon the Marine Corps may include, but are not limited to, any tattoo that is sexist, racist, vulgar, anti-American, anti-social, gang related, or extremist group or organization related.

- Having eccentric or faddish styles of hair, jewelry or eyeglasses. The good judgement of all members at all levels is key to enforcement of Marine Corps standards with this issue.

- Chewing gum, chewing tobacco, cigarettes or the consumption of food while in formation or walking in uniform.

- Articles that are not authorized for wear as a part of a regulation uniform will not

be worn with the uniform such as: pens, watch chains, backpacks/bags (over the shoulder), CD/MP3 players or other similar items.

- For females, barrettes, combs, rubber bands, etc. are authorized, if concealed by the hair.

- Cellular phones (personally owned and organizationally issued) and other electronic

equipment will not be worn exposed on Marine Corps uniforms.

- Sunglasses will be conservative in nature and will not be worn indoors or in formations unless authorized by a medical representative.

- The wearing of clothing articles not specifically designed to be normally worn as headgear (e.g. bandanas, doo rags) is strictly prohibited in civilian attire and while in uniform.

- No part of a prescribed uniform, except those items not exclusively military in

character, will be worn with civilian clothing.

7. INDIVIDUAL COMBAT EQUIPMENT

- Improved Load Bearing Equipment (ILBE) (see figure 6) : the ILBE is a load carrying system designed to provide a durable and lightweight means for the deployed Marine/Sailor to transport their individual combat clothing and equipment. It is an integrated load bearing system that is light, durable and can easily be configured for the mission at hand and to maximize the mobility, survivability and lethality of the Marine/Sailor in combat environments.

- Fighting Load Vest (to include belt) - the vest is designed to reduce heat build up on the back with minimum area of coverage with the H-Harness design. The wide shoulder straps of the vest help distribute the load without the need for excessive padding that can hinder mobility and sighting a weapon.
